When you are on our Site you could be directed, via hyperlink, to third party websites that are beyond our control. For example, our Site may provide search results in response to user queries or other links from advertisers, sponsors or content providers and partners that may or may not use ads or logo(s) to link to their own sites. You acknowledge that when you click on a link that leaves our Site, the site you will land on may not be controlled by us and different Terms of Service and privacy policies shall apply.

We reserve the right at any time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Site (or any part thereof) with or without notice. YOU AGREE THAT WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY MODIFICATION, SUSPENSION OR DISCONTINUANCE OF THE SERVICE.

If any provision of these Terms of Service, for any reason, be declared void, illegal, invalid, or unenforceable in whole or in part, such provision will be severable from all other provisions herein and will not affect or impair the validity or enforceability of any other provision of these Terms of Service; provided, however, that a court having jurisdiction may revise such provision to the extent necessary to make such provision valid and enforceable.

No waiver of any provision of these Terms of Service by us shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such provision or any other provision, and our failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms of Service shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Any waiver of any provision of these Terms of Service will be effective only if in writing and signed by Briefly.com.

We may immediately terminate these Terms of Service with respect to you (including your access to our Site, or any portion thereof) without cause and without notice to you in our sole discretion. Upon termination, you must cease use of our Site.

The provisions of these Terms of Service, which by their nature should survive the termination of these Terms of Service, shall so survive such termination.
